You should cut it in half and take out the seeds and roast them after rinsing and taking the strings out............it is easier to scoop out the cooked pumpkin after roasting the halves at 375 and then use your ice cream scooper to take it out to cool off before using to bake pie or make cookies. A whole pumpkin will be very hot to handle and then to cut and clean. You will know when it is done when you check the halfs before scooping.
